Cholesterol and Lipids TestMarkers Measured
Cholesterol and Lipids TestAlmost everyone is familiar with the Cholesterol and Lipid panel. This test is one of the best ways to assess your overall health. Not to mention one of the most important seeing as heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States claiming well-over 600,000 lives per year.
Thankfully, measuring and controlling your cholesterol is often considered to be the single biggest and most controllable risk factors for coronary heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. As your cholesterol levels rise, so does your risk of heart disease and we make it easier than ever to measure it.
Not only do measure your cholesterol (Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides) - we also measure other important markers not found in your everyday cholesterol or lipid panel.
Direct LDL - Normally, LDL levels are calculated by looking at your Total Cholesterol and HDL levels and making an educated guess. Although this is widely accepted, it can be inaccurate. We go the extra mile and get you the true value of LDL. Don't be surprised when your doctor seems impressed by this!
hs-CRP - Elevated hs-CRP levels indicate chronic low-grade inflammation which is correlated with an increased risk for heart disease. If elevated, you should try and reduce inflammation in your body in addition to cholesterol.
HbA1c - HbA1c levels are considered to be a good measure of your 90-day glucose levels and do not vary as much day-to-day as your standard glucose marker. High HbA1c levels are widely considered to be indicative that you either have, or have an elevated risk for developing, type 1 or type 2 diabetes. If already diagnosed, HbA1c can also be a good indicator on how well your diabetes treatment plans are working.
Who should take this test?If you...
If you are over 35, have been diagnosed with, or know you are at risk of any of the above, chances are you're already being tested for the markers included in this test. Now, you can take your cholesterol test at home!
